Acer to offer Celeron-based CULV processors for its ultra-thin notebooks

Acer is very soon going to bring few changes in the type of processors being used in its Timeline thin-and-light series. For the low end models, Acer will offer Celeron-based Timelines. Until now we have encountered the 5410T and 3410T, 15.6” and 13.3”  models based on the Celeron 723 at 1.3GHz. The 13-incher is priced [...]

AOCOS shows off a bunch of MIDs

In a recent MID conference, AOCOS displayed numerous MIDs (T6 series, T8 series, X1/X2/X3 series, A4/A4L, M50, M51, M52, M53 and T500) of similar form factors. All of them have 5-inch screen, WVGA display, Video player and WiFi except for the AOCOS T7 and X7 which sport 7-inch screen and have higher resolution as compared to the rest of the models.

We will post updates as we get more information about these MIDs.

Top 10 reasons you should NOT get a SONY VAIO P

1. Over-Priced: We fully understand the fact that it is SONY. But, paying so much for a device that performs so poorly does not make any sense
2. Super high resolution: What is the point of giving the user super high resolution in an 8-inch screen? Is SONY under some contract of putting so outrageous resolutions in small screens? Looks like they learned nothing from their UX series which squeezed 1024×600 pixels in an 4.3-inch display
3. HDD not easily upgradable: Although we do not upgrade the HDD everyday, but it should be easily swappable in case something goes wrong with the HDD or if the user wishes to use SSD
4. Non-upgradable RAM
5. Poor performance by the entry level model: 1.33GHz simply chokes while running Vista
6. Even entry level model costs nearly twice as much as other netbooks in the market
7. Making the entry level model bundle with Windows Vista
8. Whole device is built around the keyboard and not anything else: I guess the engineers at SONY did not use the device for more than 5 minutes.
9. Trackball: Trackpad is the way to go.
10. Below-average or just average battery life with the standard battery: Even if the SONY is entering so late in the netbook market, it should have already made out that the people want netbooks with REALLY good battery life. Netbooks with 2-3 hours battery life are things of past now.

Do yourself a favour and get something on which you can really work upon.
